Mechanical Properties of Solids

There are three types of matter- solid, liquid and gas. Out of them, solids have a rigid shaped and size. The intermolecular forces of attractions in solids are greatest. Mechanical properties are the physical properties of a material which it shows, when it is provided with certain amount of force or load. These properties are to be kept in mind for various purposes. When a force is applied to an object, the object may or may not get deformed depending upon its elastic property. But every time the object develops a restoring force against the force applied. This is commonly known as stress. If the object changes its dimensions due to the force applied it develops strain ( which is the ratio of change in dimension to the original dimension).

A one-string Aeolian harp is constructed by attaching the lower end of a 1.66-m-long rigid and uniform pole with a mass of 8.00 kg to a tree at a pivot and then using a light rope to hang a 39.0-cm-long hollow steel tube with a mass of 4.00 kg from its upper end. A horizontal wire between the pole and the tree is attached to the pole at a height h above the pivot and holds the pole at a 45.0∘C angle with the vertical. The wire is uniform and has linear mass density μ=1.40 g/m. When the wind blows, the wire resonates at its fundamental frequency. The height h is chosen such that the sound emitted by the wire stimulates the fundamental standing wave in the tube, which harmonizes with the resonating wire. The speed of sound in air is 344 m/s. What is the frequency of the note produced by this instrument?
